A Divorce He Regrets (Alissa Nexus) novel Chapter 134

NATHAN

The pillar had fallen at just the right time. Senior Graham’s death was the opportunity I needed—a chance to infiltrate the Grahams and dismantle them from within. Everything was falling into place.

So why did it feel like I was slipping?

Raina was avoiding me. I could feel it. She hadn’t returned my calls or texts. Was it just grief, or was there something more?

And Alex.

Why had she let him stay?

The thought burned in my chest. Were they getting back together?

The voices in my head wouldn’t stop, spiraling louder and louder until they drowned out every other thought.

“They’re pushing you out.”

“She’s slipping away.”

“You’re losing her.”

“SHUT UP!” I roared, slamming my fist onto the desk. The sound echoed through the room, and for a moment, there was silence.

But the questions lingered, their whispers like needles in my brain.

Was it him? Was Alex the reason Raina wouldn’t let me in? My fingers curled into fists, my nails digging into my palms as I stared at the wall. She had to see the truth—Alex was the enemy.

When the chaos in my head finally settled into an uneasy quiet, my phone buzzed on the desk, the shrill sound making my nerves jump. Of course, it had to be Adelaide.

I grabbed the phone, my grip tightening as her name flashed on the screen. "What now?" I barked, pressing the device to my ear.

Her voice came through, shaky and laced with panic. "Nathan, I think Alex suspects me."

I froze for a moment, my mind racing. "Why the hell would you think that?" I demanded.

"It's the way he looks at me," she stammered, her tone bordering on pathetic. "And... and he caught me."
